There were ongoing speculations about their popular Surface product being replaced by Microsoft Surface Pro 5. As noted from a report by Windows Latest, Panos said that the new Surface devices will be in the markets when the time is right.
That said, there is an imminent upgrade for the Surface Pro lineup now that both Intel and AMD has come out with better chips and better performing graphics.

Mr. Panay is pleased with device sales for their existing Surface Pro devices stating that he is sure of people using it for a period of at least five more years.
